Meaning of TMC's electric cable code#1: Overview

TMC marine power cables are designed and manufactured according to JIS and IEC standards, so the code / notation is agreed to be oriented / named / determined according to the following general rules:

Core number noting for which some key names:

FA Cable – Fire Retardant Cable
FR Cable – Re res fired cable
FA-FR Cable – Cable that is both fire retardant and re-resretable
S Cable – Single core cable for power and lighting cables
Cable D – Double core cable for power and lighting cables
T cable – Triple core cable for power and lighting cables
F cable – Quad-core cable for power and lighting cables
M cable – Multi-core cable for control and signal cables
TT Cable – Voice cable and equipment

Material type noting:

Insulation: P: Rubber EP/Y: PVC/C: XLPE
Sheath: Y: PVC
Armouring: C: steel fiber / CB: copper fiber
Protective cover: Y: PVC
Other information: SLA: General Sheath Type (AL/PS tape) / -SLA: Specific Sheath Type (AL/PS tape) / -S: Separate sheath type (copper tet rope) / E: Contact cord / (C): Cold type
Note 1: With a voice cable, the sign of the iphone layer is ignored
Note 2: In case the upholstery mesh layer is copper Tet wire, the CB sign will replace C, e.g. 0.6/1KV SPYCB, 0.6/1KV SPYCBY
Note 3: In the case of grounded cables, the E sign will be added as the systical of the code, for example, 0.6/1kV TPYE
